Research Process
I have begun the process of research by thinking of two
topics that interests me the most in education. The topics that I have begun
with are special education and diversity. More specifically diversity in
special education, after much thought over the last week, I am feeling that as
a topic I should focus more on diversity or more on special education. As an
educator I am extremely passionate about
both topics as a parent of two children with various special needs as
well as working, living as a military spouse I recognize the need for diversity
in education. In each topic there is value yet I don't want to place too much of myself in the topics and forget about the questions that I am trying to research out in order to further my understanding in education.
I am frustrated in my own self through this process, because
I cannot seem to focus on which way my research should go. Since the process of researching on a topic
of my own choosing is a very new process
its harder to figure out which way I would I like to go and what questions I
want to answer since I have so many. Any advice would be great in this area.
How to begin to narrow down my research to manageable topics of discussion
?
As I am beginning this process I am sure this is a process that I am going to grow from and learn, I am open to all suggestions. It is more that a little disconcerting but I am truly enjoying the learning process.
Tara,
ReplyDeleteI have not worked with children or families from diverse backgrounds so I cannot help you with that. I do have a passion for special needs children and I work with them and their families every day. A possible topic could be inclusion of special needs children in diverse early childhood programs. Good luck and I look forward to reading more about the topic of your choice.

Thank you for the suggestion, Erica. Research is something I can honestly say I have no experience in so after this week and the last few days, I am feeling better a little better about the process.
